President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 336.

This bill would add two members to the State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home
Administrators, provide additional restrictions as to who may serve in the capacity of
nursing home administrator, provide additional restrictions relating to education
requirements, and increase the fine for licensee violations.

House Bill 461, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 2,
1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 336.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
